Big Ratings News! NBC viewership for Wednesday at 8 p.m. was up 50 percent from last week!!! The Peacock won this time slot for the first time all season!!!! What could be driving such success? Has Ben hit his stride? Did all the other networks lose power? Nope. It was the best of both worlds -- Knight Rider got the week off and was replaced by the Obama infomercial.

I smell another backdoor pilot? (Hmm...That term sounds crude. For those not in the industry, a backdoor pilot is when a network runs a made-for-TV movie that could morph into a series.)

It's either that or they'll just pass out these foam fingers at the next NBC staff meeting.

Temps are the lowest life form in Hollywood. They are lower than assistants. Lower than those in the mail room. Lower than everyone. Why? Because they are completely disposable. You don't like the temp. Get a new one. (Oh and we don't get health insurance, paid vacation, 401k, etc.) I am one of those barnacles on the hull of the good ship "Hollywood." These are my stories.
